actually the rendered portion of the HDV is 363MB (16:46 hours and failed)
and the rendered portion of the animation is 13.86GB (17.36 hours and failed)

the comp is 3 minutes long

about 1GB

the memory settings did not make much difference

mov

i tried to output to HDV and then animation (lossless?).
the animation rendered one hour longer before failing…

the comp is made of 500 video layers using only one source clip
and each in layer the video has only a mask applied to it

i am getting an error message after about 16 hours of 30 into the render. the system is not crashing, just the render fails and reads “”after effects error: an output module stopped responding. the file may be damaged or corrupted. you may need to restart after effects.” the source footage is ok. it does not fail at the same frame each time. when i disable render multiple frames the 30 hour estimate becomes 115 hours…

in the activity monitor:

when rendering my CPU reads % User = 11.82, % System = 3.33, % Idle = 86.94 (fluctuates)
threads = 1850, processes = 60
my cache is disabled within AE
(in AE at the bottom of the render queue it reads RAM 17% used of 64GB)
system memory used = 50GB
disc activity shows a jagged green line at top of square with peak 46.6 mb/sec
and a flat red line at the bottom of the square

does this indicate anything to you?

the readings i listed are at the beginning of the render not at the point when it
fails. would these meter readings change? For this particular piece it always
fails after 16 hours (of 30). is something accumulating to a point that causes it to fail?
thanks for your help

thanks Jon
The portion of work that renders before the crash is usable and I only need
to render the unfinished portion. Is this not typical. I am rendering to the
same drive where the source is…why would this be a problem? There is
plenty of free space.

Thanks Kevin
Are there optimum numbers or levels I am looking for in the task manager for:

CPU Levels
RAM Usage
Disk Activity

I’m not sure I know how to interpret the information and identify a bottleneck.

i am installing the AE update and Encoder update.
i am increasing the RAM for other apps to 16G leaving 48G for AE.
I have 12 CPUs for other apps and 12 CPUs that will be used…should I reduce that as well?

I would recommend leaving at least 16GB and 4 cores available for other applications.

So you would change
RAM for other apps from 3G to 16G
and how do I allow 4 cores for other apps?
